    A brilliant, breathlessly exciting, sunshine-dappled album of melodic, electronic alt-pop.

    This album is a subtly, sweetly wonderful thing--proof that, sometimes, sonic actions speak louder than words.

    Ultimately, under the unifying sound of Casiokids' youthful pop, African, Asian and Norweigan influences combine in blissful harmony to create the ultimate musical expedition.

    Although the album seems like silly fun on the surface, there is enough complexity to the interlocking synth lines and clattering rhythms to give the music some weight.

    What's left then is a large number of effective, tightly constructed tracks that are sure to please a wide range of indie/synth pop fans, regardless of the language they speak.

    Casiokids received a one million Kroner grant from fellow Nordmenn A-ha for musical potential....A-ha can consider their money well spent.

    While it's far from perfect, Casiokids have done well to polish their sound, even if they've not yet quite decided what they want to be when they grow up

    Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen attempts to splice that sound with a new, more varied approach. It isn't always entirely successful, it's sometimes awkward, but hey, what do you want?

    Casiokids show a subtly deep thoughtfulness coursing their thoroughly joyous songs.

    This record isn't a revelation, perhaps, but it is rewarding nonetheless.

    Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen's most vital resource is Casiokids' boundless sense of playfulness, which enables them to effortlessly blend the familiar with the transgressive.
